It's consistent over several samples (a couple of
dozen.) Yes, that may be a coincidence.
However, looking at those I see top markings of
7317/DEC 8881
S7531/DEC 8881
S7631/DEC 8881
S7720/DEC 8881
S7711/DEC 8881
S7712/DEC 8881
etc. Looks like date code/part number on the top;
all have 7439 markings on the bottom.
Not all of my 8881's have that 7439 marking.
Looking at the datasheet, the 7439 has the same
pinout and function as an 8881. I'm convinced
that this is at least as good a replacement as a 7401.

I believe Texas Instruments like to put the part number on the bottom of
7400-series ICs.

It's not at all unlikely that 8881s are just specially-binned
7439s in this case; that's consistent with what DEC did for
other transceiver chips sourced from major manufacturers.

A quick search for DM7439 comes up with a datasheet for a 4x2-input OC
NAND with the same pinout as a 7401, but with 48 ma max output current.
There's an SN7439 as well.
Offhand, I'd say they were the same thing as the 8881.

I could ask if that was the date code, but actually, the 7439 (TTL
number) is similar to the 8881, and I could easily beleive that DEC 8881s
were (sometimes?) selected 7439s
